As a rangers fan I hate this dude I have not liked him since he came in 2019 and if after 2023 we keep him I think I need to find a new favorite team
I wish that’s we had never let Bannister walk. Not a huge fan of woody
Yeah,,, I'm not sure how familiar you are w/the brain geniuses that manage MLB teams b/c intelligence wise, this guy is probably above average.
Dusty Baker?
He was 100 percent correct by calling out Tatis for that Bush League play
In 2016 the padres were beating the mariners 12-2… the mariners came back to win the game. This “unwritten” rule is honestly bull shit. You can’t have a big enough lead no matter what sport you’re playing.
28-3 reminds me that no lead will ever be big enough.
If you're getting your ass beat, either play harder or quit. Don't blame the other guys for playing hard and NOT quitting.
I don't believe in taking your foot off the gas. That's how you lose leads. I had a younger cousin that was in a softball tournament when she was like 13. Her team was up 7-1 in the final and her and her teammates were acting like they won when there was still an inning left. Sure as shit, the other team got hot and tied the game up to go into extra innings. They beat my cousin's team 8-7 after an infield error. So my cousin and her team are crying on the sidelines while the other team is celebrating. I warned her it could happen but she didn't believe me until it was too late 🤷♂️
Swinging 3-0 doesn’t bother me in the least. The bat flip on the other hand……
It happened last week when the Mets scored seven runs in the 9th inning to beat the Phillies.
"99% is impossible. There's only 30 parks." Booney killin them stats!
If you ever need proof that math isn't a requirement to be a professional athlete, look no further
When the Tatis incident happened, the Padres manager, Jayce Tingler, agreed with Woodward. Definitely a contender for dumbest manager.
Tbf Tingler made up for it by getting thrown out and having his team’s back in 2021…
I’d blame him for the collapse but he was only part of the problem being useless in the situation. AJ Preller was an outright idiot as well.
Funny name but meh in both incidents, the rangers lost brutally as theyve done somewhat consistently for a few years. In the torres incident it seemed pretty intentionally hyperbolic to the tune of "tough loss we wouldve won that" and in the tatis incident it was arguably defending the hbp regardless of its intention, to the tune of "if there was a reason why, that was why (they were being routed, it was early on, and they hit machado for somethin tatis "broke".)
Not only did Jayce agree, he made Tatis publicly apologize for hitting a home run.
And what happened to Jayce Tingler? Besides his team being picked as a favorite as a World Series contender, flop and under perform terribly, I don't know if I'd use Jayce as my main argument.
@@cscotet4202 Eric Hosmer becoming an issue in the locker room due to him not being dealt at the deadline, a us vs Preller mentality in the clubhouse, lack of pitching analytics leading to the collapse of the rotation.
Tingler was bad but I don’t think he’s THE reason. It’s the organization as a whole. He isn’t Russell Westbrook and this is not the Lakers.
I think Boones response was absolutely perfect, light hearted enough to not escalate anything but still takes a small shot at woodward
You can still get 99% out if 30
@@Leftfield310 You can't get 99% out of 30 with a whole number. You can't play in half a ballpark, 3/4 of a ballpark, or any other fraction/decimal. In this context, Boone's right
Woodward said 99% of ballparks, he never said just major league ballparks. He could technically be right then, even though we know he’s not.
The Bronx zoo stadium is a little league ballpark. I can't believe that it's the only stadium that allows animals for all 81 games.
Yeah, that means that ball would have been caught in 29.7 ballparks. Lol. That is pretty good
I remember a thread on Reddit where someone was asking if a Chris Woodward autograph was real.
Who would ever fake a Chris Woodward autograph?
"We'll stop trying to score if you stop trying to catch up." former Pirates manager Jim Leyland
“His math is wrong, there are only 30 ballparks.”
Lol
“The dumbest manger I’ve ever heard of”
“But you have heard of me”
As a Rangers fan, that rule is incredibly childish, especially coming from an organization, that not 8 years earlier, dropped 30 FUCKING RUNS on an abysmal orioles teams.
Also, Woodward needs to go. If he can't win with Siemian, Seager, Garver and Garcia in his starting lineup, he will never win.
It takes so much more than that to win, so much more.
@@Dodgers-sw2uk I do agree with you but having 5 of the biggest bats in the MLB, who are also incredible defensively, should make it A LOT easier.
Unfortunately the decision to sign Semian and Seager wasn't his. Blame our VP of Baseball Operations, Jon "The Moron" Daniels. He's the one who signed Shin-Soo Choo to the first ever nine-figure contract for a player with ZERO All-Star appearances at that point in his career (he would ultimately finish with ONE appearance).
@@kace842 In the end, this bitch ass manager needs to go
The team just sucks, it isn’t Woodward
Boone clowning on him about saying 99% when there are only 30 parks in the majors was perfect
I have never even heard of this guy but 2 small examples of him being “old school” or “defending his players” doesn’t make him dumb or a bad manager. He might be an awful manager for all I know but this video doesn’t make any sense

I agree with you. Seems like a desperate for content video from my perspective.
There is also another unwritten rule Woodward, it's called "win with class & lose with dignity"!!! He comes across like a complete sore loser and he is a bitter little man.
Yeah he does seem like a real sore loser.
Excellent point!
He has a tough little beard
“99% is impossible when there’s only 30 ballparks”
Is killing me🤣 we love a smart ass response
As a Yankees fan, Chris Woodward might just be mad that some of his players aren't performing as well as they should

Remember in 2001 when the Indians came back from a 12 run deficit to beat the Mariners? They were down to their last strike in the 9th inning, still trailing by 5 runs. Anything is possible in baseball. MLB managers whining about getting blown out is embarrassing.
The next year, the Oakland A's had their moneyball season, but it's also infamous for the Oakland nearly blew an 11-0 run lead. They won with a walkoff homerun to make it 12-11.
@@muhammadrifqi7308 I forgot about that! What a game that must have been.
That's not true no team is capable of coming back from a 12 deficit with 2 outs in the 9th inning.
@@chrisshook8471 I said down to their last strike with a 5 run deficit. Learn to read.
@@chrisshook8471 And yes...it would be possible to come back down 12 with one out remaining. Learn the game.
I think the Padres manager Tinsley (i think) not backing up his own player in Tatis, makes him the worst or dumbest manager that day.
Tingler used to work under Woodward in the Texas Rangers organization before managing the Padres. Tingler got fired last year for his team collasping like the Mets.
@@mrdankim78 Score one for the Chris Woodward Coaching Tree I guess.
I fucking love Boone saying "99% is impossible, there are 30 parks" that's what I'm saying
The 3-0 no swing thing doesn't even really have the same effect when it is bases loaded. Swinging could actually help out the losing team if it is a ball because it would walk in a run if not a strike. I think it is a garbage unwritten rule that makes fans turn the game off rather than continue to watch any way. If he is so concerned and just wants the game to be over with then he needs to just pull his team off the field and forfeit.
You should’ve saved this title for Tony La Russa
Dementia is a little different from dumb, and it’s horrible.
Calling him the dumbest in caps is pretty unjustified based on the content there, man. Old school, yeah.. otherwise, he was just standing up for his team, no?
The title was definitely just to get people riled up and watching the video, which you did. So I'd say it was an effective title. Not accurate, but effective.
Ur lucky a manscaped ad was not included
You're free to drop a 👎on this video and flag it.
In my opinion, he’s definitely not the smartest considering the things he’s said and the actions he’s taken
There was no point for him to stand up for his team with that comment though. Making a random, asinine excuse for why his team lost doesn’t help anybody.
You should do a video about former Mets manager Luis Rojas. He knew absolutely nothing about managing. He made multiple strategic mistakes, insisted on the pull-everything -in-the-air to beat the shift cop-out strategy, managed only based on matchups and metrics, fielded a different lineup almost every day, didn't have a clue how to motivate his players, etc. One of the worst managers I've seen.
Your wasting your talent in the comment section. Did you ever consider being a major league manager?
@@robertlosasso4222shut up luis
A video that takes two moderately controversial incidents and makes them out to be emblematic of a non-existent larger problem.
Blaming a rebuild on a manager is just weak, to boot.
Yeah, I don't think we can really say whether he is a good manager or not considering the shit teams he was given. I think the it was dumb for him to say what he said, but saying he is the dumbest manager is a stretch.
I mean his comments were idiotic and the unwritten rules thing is also foolish
@@keianroth2669 That's a fair argument to make, but to deem Woodward the dumbest manager from those isolated incidents is just hyperbolic and lazy.
@@ryanclark3935 🤷♂️
I watched this today and five minutes later, the dude gets fired. 😂
Corey Seager said he left the Dodgers for the Rangers because he wanted to be part of something special. Did he mean the special Olympics?
He meant the special cash
He meant he wanted to experience the “special” feeling of actually being in the bottom portion of a division for once.
Wow, that this guy has a job as a major league manager is amazing and is an embarrassment to the game and the team he is managing. Wtf, get rid of this joker
Meh, it was his first couple seasons. Get over it. His strategy and bull pen management is second to none and his players LOVE him, and I say this as a mariners fan. Does a lot for charity too.
man i get using the small park jokes if the yankees players had inflated numbers, but how are you gonna use it as an excuse when both of you had the same opportunities
Didn't hear him crying when his player hit his 1st HR of the season in the previous game...
Despite being in 1st place, I think Dave Roberts is a pretty weak manager. The Dodgers are great despite Roberts, not because of him. He's too emotionally bonded with his players to make important decisions like benching Bellinger all of last season, benching Max Muncy this season, and replacing Kimbrel as his closer. Managers need to hurt feelings sometimes for the better of a team but he cant do that.
Part of being a good manager is having your guys backs. Players respond well to knowing a slump won’t get you benched for the season. Yes, it’ll lead to times where you ride players who never break out of their slump too long, but it gives all player’s confidence to just continue to work hard knowing playing time isn’t an issue. Remember, these guys are human being who want respect and want to play enough to get paid.
The Dodgers are so good that Roberts has all the slack he needs to give players a chance to work it out. If they benched Bellinger, they’d be maybe 2 games better this season? No difference in the standings, but all the difference to Bellingers confidence and adding pressure to all struggling players.
It’s a fine line to walk, and this isn’t a video game where you can just bench or trade all under performing players with no repercussions.
@@samorpilla7467 I lean more into that mentality too, but Cody last year is more than your average slump. That season was literally ranked as the worst season by a former MVP. It was historically bad. He should've been benched. And Max should get benched too. And Kimbrel shouldn't be a closer any more. They've had more than enough time to shake off a slump.
Not sure if I'd call him "dumb," but certainly you are what your stats say you are. Yankee Stadium, although being new, is modeled after the original with its' right field dimensions. Whatever the case, both teams play in the same "park" at the same time, so his criticism of Yankee Stadium is foolish. His record as a manager sucks.
I’m not saying he’s a great manager but usually when your roster sucks, you’re not going to win many games.
Despite the right field porch, Yankees Stadium is a pitcher's park rather than a hitter's park.
The original yankee stadium was 285 ft near the left field line, 395 ft straight away left field, 460 ft left center, 490 straightaway center, 425 ft right center, 350 straightaway right field and 295 ft. Yankee stadium from 1976 until 2008 is really “yankee stadium 2” (as it was refurbished) and this ballpark is really yankee stadium lll, which has the same dimensions as yankee stadium ll.
@@TheMav41 despite the sky being blue, the sky is not blue
His criticism of Yankees stadium is legit it is a little league park that a medium flyball in most parks go out at yankees stadium.
As a Rangers fan it is embarrassing to have him as our manager. Hasn't had a winning season and they plan on keeping him while getting rid of our past 2 managers after making the playoff all but 3 years and removing them after 1 or 2 losing seasons
Bannister was really really getting bad at the end. He was losing the clubhouse and letting a lot of calls get him ejected. Woodward has been better so far. Most of the time he's not that bad of a guy. He says some really really stupid shit and almost exclusively says dumb shit with the spotlight on him. But overall he isn't as bad as his image is
He’s getting a winning season this year
@@tannerdavis2259 we arent even 500 yet, havent been at all this season. Not once, do we have the potential? Absolutely. have we seen it happen yet? No.
You act like Ron Washington didnt relapse on cocaine
The rangers are generally a trash team. Buck showalter struggled to win with that organization. Chris Woodward wouldn't have gotten any of the good jobs with real teams.
As a Mariners fan, I respected Chris as a 3rd base coach and all he did for the Mariners as a coach and coordinator. But once he left for the Dodgers that’s where it changed. I remember watching the game where he hyped up a home run as they were winning I think by 6 late in the game against the Mariners his former team so he’s a hypocrite for the unwritten rule. Look I get the Yankees stadium so I would be mad if the home run would’ve been an out in most other ballparks. But 26/30 of the ballparks idk what he’s on. He’s just a dumb guy with the comments and his way of the ‘unwritten rules’ and should focus on his team after they spend almost half a billion dollars during the offseason.
Why would it matter if it would be an out in other parks anyway? Its not like its 314 down the line for the Yankees and pushed back for the visitors. Rangers had 27 outs to hit homers in a "little league park", so did the Yankees. As long as its an even playing field, it doesn't matter.
The second Bronx zoo is the only place that Gleyber Torres would have been a home run.
As an ex Mariner player, the Yankee homerun probably would have hit the wall in the old Kingdome stadium even though right field was only 317 ft. Trust me, I gave up a popup hr to McGuire to right field. As far as the unwritten rule I always heard it was 10 runs or more after 7 innings.Then you don't swing 3-0, and play one base at a time.
@@brentknackert8412 unwritten rules are horrible. If one team wants the other to stop trying, then go to the umpire and say you forfeit.
@@snerdterguson Tough for me to argue with that actually. Maybe it was because if the team starts giving up (forfeit), then perhaps the fans will give up on coming to the game. Its not so much the losing team giving up, as it is the winning team not rubbing their noses in it. I don't know 7 runs does not seem like its enough. Like I said 10 or more runs after 7, then you kind of take it easy and not try to stretch a single into a double. Just my thoughts :)
the thing is both teams played on the same field so his team had 9 innings to take advantage of the field
He was a awful 3b coach for the dodgers. Some of the worst holds and sends I’ve ever seen
I’m more pissed at the Dodgers for their habit of sending their 3rd base runner to “go on contact”. And then the runner gets easily gunned down when the ball doesn’t even make it out of the infield. What a waste of a runner…
@@samiam619 yep, our 3b coach drives me absolutely mad.
It’s a puzzle to me how anybody even gets a job as a third base coach or first base exactly. I wonder if any teams actually track some sort of stats for them or just use it as an honorary position.
He is a terrible manager should be fired soon but is so butthurt when he loses which is like all the time.
So true
I'm a Rangers fan. The issue isn't Woodward, its Jon Daniels. Daniels as GM and now President has not brought in the talent the manager needs to win, especially pitching. Daniels shoud have been fired a few years ago but the owners are gutless.
I'm a Brewers fan.
If the yankees can hit hrs to right why can't the other team? It's not like the porch extends and retract
Lmao they hit one over the short porch yesterday that would’ve been out only there and I think Boston
I just feel like making fun of the stadium being small is in a way calling out your own players for not being able to hit the ball out of a "little league ballpark"
Interviewer: "So Rangers what inspired you to build a second Globe Life Field right next door to the original?"
Rangers: "MONEY!"
Actually it’s called the Texas heat bud it’s better playing indoors at 78 degrees than 100 degrees out in the sun. Not to mention that was a one of many reasons I might add but certainly one of the biggest reasons Texas hasn’t been able to attract big name free agents in previous years especially elite pitchers. But yeah I agree I’m not happy with the job Woodward has done since being here and I think at some point if the needle doesn’t start pointing up the rangers are going to have to make a change. I want to believe in Chris Woodward but I have seen nothing yet that makes me believe he can take us to that next level like Ron Washington did.
@@ryantaylor3828 lol tbh it was nice. I was there a couple weeks ago for the Red Sox game. Nah the reason it hasn't attracted free agents was because the front office were always afraid to spend after the world series years. We all saw the offers that were going out from them for years. They sucked compared to other teams (sorry for the harsh words lol) After a while it became hard for the Rangers to shake that image as a "cheap team" in a big market. Glad to see they got over that hump tho
@@ryantaylor3828 they also fleeced the city of Arlington so you know that goes some way too I guess
Not anymore…now it’s Mr Gabe Kapler’s turn as the dumbest manager in baseball.

I could never be mistaken for a Yankees fan but I have to side with the Yankees in this one. Woodward is making an absolute fool of himself.
I'm a lifelong Yankees fan. If a Yankees manager talked and acted that stupidly, I'd want him dumped in the East River. You guys have had some good ones... Herzog, Billy Martin (!)... and those Juan Gon, I-rod, Dean Palmer, Julio Franco teams could make ANY patrk look 'little league'. Good luck, Texan. Love your state!
Also not a Yankees fan, but….okay, it depends on who they are playing. Go Yankees if they’re playing the Houston Cheaters…

Most who aren’t Goose Gosage types think the unwritten rules are dumb at this point, but there are a long list of idiots in front of that line. Hosmer, his teammate, lecturing Tatis after the HR was far, far more egregious. Never mind La Russa all but encouraging the other team to throw at his young player, Mercedes, after his 3-0 HR.

Does anyone else think that he basically threw his own team under the bus? What does it say about his team of Major League hitters (who are in the Majors for a reason) that they were only able to score 1 run in a game at a "Little League field"?
No. Just you.
He's not being dumb. I live in New York and I'll tell you he's right. Here's why. The short right field porch made sense in the old Yankee Stadium which was built in 1923 within a city block as most ballparks were back in the day. They were mostly asymmetrical with odd dimensions. You would see the same thing with the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field. Now take a look at the dimension of Yankee Stadium back then: 295 ft. (right), 490 ft. (center), and 281 ft. (left). What is presently "Monument Park" was the actual center field it ;was the deepest in the American League. One Yankee pitcher said: "The difference between Yankee Stadium and Yellowstone Park is that Yellowstone has bears." So naturally, the Yankees became a haven for left handed sluggers like Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Maris and Jackson, later on Mattingly. Of course with the refurbishing of the stadium in the 70's they reconfigured the fences in CF and in LF, but did nothing to the RF fence. So any pitcher would feel claustrophobic with that short right field porch sitting right there. But since it was THE Yankee Stadium, nobody would dare say anything.
Fast forward to today; athletes are much better and stronger than previous generations. the bandboxes of the past have made way for the concrete and steel ballparks that while comfortable are still challenging to play in. But not the modern Yankee Stadium whose dimensions are straight out of the 1920's Left field - 318 ft (97 m) Left center - 399 ft (122 m) Center field - 408 ft (124 m) Right center - 385 ft (117 m) Right field - 314 ft (96 m) Backstop - 52 ft 4 in. Babe Ruth would be right at home. But to the modern day pitcher, it's still a band box. Now, one could argue that expansion has "watered down" the pitching, but that would also hold true for hitters as well. With today's sports science and technology, it's tough for pitchers to survive. And managers have to ameliorate a lot of pitchers fragile psyches. So to call him "dumb' when he's just doing what a manager would do if his hitter had an argument with an umpire and got thrown out, to me, is missing the point.
And the "unwritten rules" that people rail about have more to do with "sportsmanship" than anything else. You see, professional baseball was played in era when people were less civil than they are today; compared to those generations, we're rather soft. And baseball was more of rough and tumble game than what you see now. You wouldn't have wanted to play against John McGraw or Ty Cobb if you lived back then. Fighting, spiking people and getting drunk off your a*s was the order of the day. So much so, that Ban Johnson who formed the American League, made prohibiting alcohol at games a selling point for the league. Learn the history of the game and you'll appreciate the present game more.
Bro you really typed out an entire essay and half of it is just ramblings without any points
@@SoggyMs Oh, for you hard of reading, let me guide you:
1. He was right to complain; the short right field porch IS a "Little League ballpark"/
2. The original dimensions of YS were originally deeper; Monument Park WAS part of the field of play. It was over 460 feet to dead center. The only other park deeper was the old Polo Grounds.
3. The renovations in the 70's reflected the realities of modern day play. The short RF fence was still in place-just moved back 15 feet.
4. Being from New York and having been to both iterations of the old Yankee Stadium and knowing some history, gives me a better insight than let's say some random knucklehead commenting on the subject and the length of my previous post.
Thanks for playing, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. 😶
I like your use of the Snyder Cut soundtrack during the video lol
I watched this 2 days ago and now he just got fired. Impeccable timing lol
I have been a Dallas resident since 1967 and a Texas Rangers fan since 1972. Baseball is in my veins... Johnny Oates and Ron Washington are beloved to Rangers fans, and though I readily admit I didn't know much about Chris Woodward when Jon Daniels hired him, but I have no problem with anything he said, whatsoever... If you want to talk about horrible managing, who lifts a pitcher (Ger'man), who just gave up his first hit with 1 out in the 8th, up 4-0 and had only thrown around 85 pitches...and replaces him with Johnathon Loisinga, who had just come off Covid restriction 2 days earlier and pitched the night before? The Yankees lost that game 5-4.... saying a manager is the "worst manager in Baseball" because of what he says "off" the field is irresponsible, in my opinion...I guess that makes me the worst youtube reader in Baseball!
😂😂😂
If we’re going to start calling managers dumb for respecting baseball’s unwritten rules, let’s start multiple episode series calling all of them out. Unfair video.
Chris Woodward got fired 😂😂😂
I’ve seen teams overcome 10 point deficits to win, you should never stop competing, period.
Albert is that friend that you can’t call with your family because you don’t know what they’re gonna say
Worst manager in the sport, whining about "unwritten rules", whining about the dimensions of Yankee Stadium, and the fact that the Rangers have gotten worse under his "leadership"
Had no idea who this was until the Padres were mentioned and then I was like “Ohhhhhhhhh”
Lol that intro is gold
I’m back after he just got the boot
Yankees fans get their panties in a bunch over everything. I don't know how anyone can stomach being a part of that fanbase.
A 54th rounder making the majors is impressive by itself
Idk man…Tony La Russa haunts me nightly
Life long Rangers fan here. While Woody is not a good manager, he is far from being the catalyst of our downfall. Nolan Ryan being pushed out by ownership was the beginning of our demise. He built the club from the ground up, focusing on player development in the minors. Under his leadership, we had the best farm system in baseball. Upon his departure, Jon Daniels took over as GM and began trading away all our minor league talent, thus leaving us with no one to bring up. He has single handedly destroyed the Rangers, focusing only on hitting and allowing our pitching to go into the garbage. Now that he is President of Baseball Operations, I have little hope we will see a decent team here again for, at least, another 10-15 years.
Baseball players really are just big babies. Seeing how angry they get honestly makes me cringe
I agree.
According to the MLB rulebook, any park built for a professional team after June 1st, 1958, is supposed to be at least 325 feet down the lines
and....?
Diehard Rangers fan here. Believe me, we all want him gone.
Came and stayed for the baseball. Left with Degrassi nostalgia.
To me, getting pissed about unwritten rules or starting petty feuds doesn't make someone "the dumbest manager in baseball."
If he made ridiculous decisions about who plays and how they play, *that* would make him a smart or dumb manager.
Dusty Baker, for example, has a really good reputation as a nice, agreeable manager -- but when he was the manager for my Giants, the guy had the most horrendous pitcher management I've ever seen. He'd leave struggling starters in for so long that it was impossible for us to ever come back from the deficit, and he lost us MANY games that way. I'd call that "dumb".
Woodward might have been wrong about the unwritten rule, but not about Tatis being obnoxious. Because his daddy was a famous player, a lot of people decided to move the goal post, and say "Let the kids play" about stuff that had people calling for Yasiel Puig's head a couple years back.
How was he obnoxious?
The Indians were down by 12 runs to the Mariners in the 7th inning and won. It’s almost like you need to earn 27 outs and keep hitting to win in Major League Baseball.
Saw a bad 2019 Blue Jay squad score 7 runs on Philly with 2 outs in the 9th to win. Philly must’ve been infected with LolMets for an inning.
Dumbest manager in baseball seems like a stretch. Let’s not forget Tatis’ own teammates chastised him for the “unwritten rule” violation. Then an off handed comment sticking up for his team after a walk off loss?
Perhaps that was not a factual comment , but then every player and manager whoever says things factually incorrect are just dumb I suppose.
The TV show thing at the beginning was interesting though!
The title is never supposed to be a factual thing, just something I came up with and for the viewer to interoperate on their own. It’s all opinionated at the end of the day with tons of different point of views on the matter! None of us are right haha. And thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed
@@iTalkStudios Understood.. Good call dude. Keep up the great content!
re: swinging 3-0 up 7…
You don’t give away at-bats, doofus.
Perfect example that shows Tatis was playing the game the right way just happened less than two weeks ago. Phillies were up 7-1 in the ninth against the Mets…the lose 8-7. That means the Mets scored 7 runs in the ninth. But yeah somebody’s feelings might get hurt because their team sucked that night. Maybe they shouldn’t you know give up the homer to Tatis in the first place. Also if someone wanted to throw me a cookie I’m going to smoke it. That homer counts the same as any other and in a sport with arbitration I wanna get the best stats as possible. Also as a Phillies fan I thought this video would be about Joe Girardi which quite possibly is the real dumbest manager in baseball. He thinks Jose Alvarado should be anywhere near a competitive game in the late innings and uses 162 lineups a season. Last year it took him 100 games to figure out Hector Neris should pitch the sixth and seventh innings rather than bring his gas can out when he’s in the closer role. He should call Mariano Rivera everyday and thank him for the opportunity to steal money from the Phillies dumbass owner.
@@freeparking301 - They’re rare, but I remember the Tigers making a similar 9th inning rally against the Royals in 2006. Players play with a lot of pride and teams don’t give up just because they’re in a hole.
And you’re dead right about arbitration - not to mention other teams scouts watching for potential free agents.
You simply don’t give away at-bats.
This is the major leagues, you put the hammer down until the final out. I’d swing dead red on 3-0 everytime, regardless of the score
I mean I don’t know anything about Chris Woodward, but this doesn’t make a very strong case for him being the dumbest manager in baseball. It’s like…2 dumb things
This whole situation is a waste of time
Plenty of competition.
As a Mets fan..his play wasn't strong enough to break any "unwritten rules"
I’m so glad that he didn’t get the job as Yankees manager, however I feel sorry for Texas fans.
Still don't understand why the Rangers got rid of Bannister for this clown. Bannister was doing fine and the team's struggles the year he was canned were obviously not his fault. I've been a huge Rangers fan since I was a kid in the '90s, so I've seen the Rangers through a lot of embarrassing situations, but Woodward is the biggest embarrassment I've seen this club go through.
He coaches the same team that put up 30 runs in one game. Lmao
No wayyy, he was in that movie?
